I made no reference to if people had a valid reason to park there or not, just that its ended up costing the club a lot of money.

Thanks Greens :(
If you have a permit, shirley you can drive one of your vehicles closer to the ground and park up legally

Hey, hang on a minute. I drive down the A23. Mill Road P&R is full about an hour before the game and I'm certainly not going to get there any earlier than that. The racecourse means driving through half of Brighton (the least car-friendly town on the planet).
What's left? Mithras House I guess, but what's the best way to get there from the A23?
Bolwarks to the council, I say.

Yup, same situation.
This season for Saturday games I can drive to the edge of Lewes, and catch a 28 or 29 to the ground with a bus every 10 minutes. Don't know what to do for evening games when the buses aren't so frequent?

I'm surprised that whoever owns the land near the ground has not turned it into a large temporary car park on match days and charged a £5er to park their. Both parking, busses and trains need to be better and in time I'm sure it will. If however you can afford the £10er a game, then the bridge car park works well on a Saturday game, not sure about evening games tho as there is only one exit

The road signs on the A270 have already gone up, stating where the Event Day parking restrictions kick in.
Coming down from Andover Coldean really helped on Tuesday night games. Next season will be interesting.
I emailed the club and they suggested the Bridge Car Park
Wasn't it £11 pre book last year £13 on the day? If so it has gone to £13 pre book £15 on the day.

I am in Bevendean Crescent, one plus is I can now park right up at Lucerne Road rather than walk from home. Downside is that means I can't drink !! Sticking with the walk for me

North East Stand.
And in a couple of years the council will shaft the residents when it will not be covered by the club and the council will take over the cost.

After seeing the way some of our fans left their cars in moulsecoomb I'm not surprised some residents voted for it. If people parked considerately in the first place it may not have come around.

strong and stable with me, or...

Let's hope there isn't a booking fee on those prices...
A decent P&R site north of Brighton will relieve a lot of this pressure. Can't be too far out or it will need too many buses but you'd think something could be sorted. Would also release capacity on Mill Road for those coming in from the west on A27. I guess there's a horrid cost though

That's what I said wasn't it?
The club have no power to tell you where you can or can't park just like they didn't at Withdean which is why most people didn't bother with the park and ride after about a season and it's obviously been the same at the Amex.
